No, I had no idea that some LVO files were being transferred to Paris.

As reg. that letter, it's a standard one which they issue to [almost]all - once their files come out of the mandatory "wait-queue" - signifying that their cases r up for processing into the next stage and the file needs updating since a considerable time has elapsed. However, as 2010 had a 2-yr's wait-queue - I wonder why it's being requested now. Or did u guys didn't get the same during 2012? If not - it signifies that the wait-queue has now been stretched to 3-yrs or more.

Thanks captain for your quick reply... You are right as we should have got something in 2012. However, instead of asking for updated docs or medical, they sent 6-12 months wait letter to almost all in mid of 2012. Some got the MR & PPR by end of 2012 also.

Now when max date for above letter is going to expire this year (for me it was april 2013), they have sent this documents request with 18 months clause.

Now I am just wondering if this is a progress in our cases in real or just another wait letter ?

Notice – Changes to the Federal Skilled Worker Program

March 1, 2013 – With new criteria for the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) set to take effect in May, many prospective immigrants may already be preparing to apply.

However, future FSWP applicants should be aware that CIC expects to announce three important elements of the FSWP in April that will have an impact on the application process, including:
•a cap on the number of applications that will be accepted in the first year;
•a new list of priority occupations; and
•the organizations that will be designated to conduct educational assessments.

Applicants who prepare their application before this information is announced do so at their own risk. Applications that do not meet the criteria that will be announced in April will not be processed.

On December 19, 2012, Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Minister Jason Kenney announced significant changes to the FSWP. In addition, the Minister announced that the new FSWP would be opened up for applications on May 4, 2013. A pause on applications, except for those from certain PhD students and those supported by a qualifying job offer, has been in place since July 1, 2012.

When i called up London Speciality, they said there would be a waiting time of 10 days. Healthbay was easy, got an appointment the next day..

Dr.Rita is a cool lady, but her assistant - an Arabic doctor - was tough. And the staff is also very co-operative...
